the player’s lawyer thinks that Mbappé will be called as a witness

As indicated by RMC Sport This Friday, the investigating chamber of the Versailles Court of Appeal confirmed the referral of Achraf Hakimi to the Hauts-de-Seine departmental criminal court. The Moroccan international and PSG player will therefore be tried for rape. He also broke his silence during the day by declaring on his X account: “The court looked me in the eye and said: ‘If you weren’t known, there would never have been a case.’ I chose to stay silent for years. I thought that remaining dignified, being patient and trusting justice would allow the right decisions to be made. Today, a story that is not mine is being told to the detriment of my family, my life and above all the truth. Sometimes I feel like I’ve become an easy target. I’ve been waiting for this trial since day one. And I’m looking forward to it now. Finally I will be able to speak“.

This evening, it was his lawyer, Me Fanny Colin, who spoke on the set of BFM TV. The latter notably declared that Kylian Mbappé would certainly be called as a witness during his friend’s trial. According to RMCthe Frenchman made a confusing statement in 2023, where it was notably written that his teammate at the time had “performed mutual caresses with the woman on private parts”. A statement misinterpreted by the courts according to the Madrilenian, who recently signed a certificate recently to defend Hakimi. “Mr. Kylian Mbappé expressed to the police officers who heard him that Mr. Achraf Hakimi did not understand the accusation against him since there had never been any digital penetration, and that Achraf Hakimi had told him that there had been mutual kisses and caresses on private parts, and that there had been no refusal on the part of this young woman. It turns out that the investigating magistrate interpreted this statement by Mr. Mbappé, considering that Achraf Hakimi would have, somewhere, admitted to having touched the genitals of this woman. But what Mr. Mbappé simply did was to say: “my words were distorted, that’s not what I said, nor what I meant.” Will he be called as a witness? I think he will be called as a witness at the trial, of course.”confided the Parisian’s lawyer.
